This is a highly turbulent ride that takes you back in time to see a group of life-size, very realistic, Audio-Animatronic dinosaurs. Much of the ride takes place in dark surroundings as the vehicles follow an extremely bumpy track and travel at high speeds. For the most thrilling ride experience, grab a seat that’s on the outside of the ride vehicle.

There is a 40″ minimum height requirement.
